LibriVox recording of Not George Washington, by P. G. Wodehouse. Read by Debra Lynn.
It has been said that behind every successful man is a good woman. This is certainly true in the case of James Orlebar Cloyster. However, some funny things happened on his road to success. His story is humorously told from the point of view of several parties involved.
According to Wikipedia, the book is a humorous, fictionalized account of Wodehouse's early years as a journalist, with Wodehouse being portrayed by the character of Cloyster. (Summary by Debra Lynn)

Eh, could have been better
I am a huge Wodehouse fan, and this book just kind of let me down.
I am used to at least a few chuckles in a Wodehouse, but this one was more drama, not so much humor. It's still an okay book, but not one I'd go out of my way to hear again.
Reader was fine.

Light comedy about the struggle to achieve literary success
This light comedy about a struggling writer's attempts to achieve literary success is amusing and easy to listen to. It is not the funniest Wodehouse I have listened to, but I was glad I stayed to the end as Eva absolutely cracked me up.
This is a solo project. DebraLynn doesn't use character voices. Her reading is a nice balance of steady and animated. (Wodehouse's humor is all the more funny for DebraLynn's matter of fact delivery.) I regularly seek her out as a Librivox reader because I know the story will be well told and the sound quality will be excellent.
